Morgan Stanley Dean Witter

Dean Witter Reynolds was an American stock brokerage and securities firm catering to retail clients. Prior to its acquisition, it was among the largest retail firms in the securities industry with over 9,000 account executives (ranking third in the US in 1996) and was among the largest members of the New York Stock Exchange. The company served over 3.2 million clients primarily in the U.S. Dean Witter provided debt and equity underwriting and brokerage as well as mutual funds and other saving and investment products for individual investors. The company's asset management arm, Dean Witter InterCapital, with total assets of $90.0 billion prior to acquisition, was one of the largest asset management operations in the U.S. In 1997, Dean Witter's parent company Dean Witter, Discover, Inc., which also owned Discover Card, merged with investment banking house Morgan Stanley to form Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. The combined firm later dropped the Dean Witter name. In 2009, the Dean Witter retail operations were transferred to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, a joint venture with Citigroup. For many years, the company used the corporate slogan, "We measure success one investor at a time," which was later adopted by Morgan Stanley.

The company is introducing an infrastructure router, called an Aggregation Service Router, that concentrates thousands of traditional TDM, frame relay, ATM, and other service feeds - alongside native IP traffic - onto a services provider's core Optical Internet networks.
A fundamental shift has occurred in communications services. The change affects a company's ability to grow. It impacts revenues and profitability. It determines how well an enterprise can serve its customers, work with its partners, support its employees. Yet, surprisingly, it is often overlooked by top executives. Quite simply, communications services have become mission critical. Voice, data, cellular, local, long distance, Internet access, DSL, VPN, calling cards, PBX, voice mail, unified messaging, network management, broadband access – these services are the lifeblood of any enterprise that wants to tackle global markets, innovate at Internet speed, and engage in the continuous transformation that is demanded by today's competitive environment. Unfortunately, the process of procuring and managing them has become increasingly chaotic and costly. Communications has become the third largest operational expense in mid-size companies. Even at that expense, much of it remains hidden, scattered throughout the enterprise, distributed among the business units, duplicated by mergers and acquisitions. Communications managers find themselves inundated with a mind-numbing array of service options, overwhelmed with literally boxes of bills, and continually asking for more headcount. Managing these multiple vendors diverts critical resources away from core business initiatives. Billing errors reduce funding for research, product development, marketing, and sales. Outages and downtime undermine relationships with customers and partners. With so much at stake, a comprehensive, single-source solution is needed for procuring and managing communications services.
